This is going to take a long time.

Anonymous said...

Yep, try to help with some Neopets

Mouse said...

It helps to rule out some that *can't* be it. (Mostly the short letter ones which are easily calculable)

Dunerey said...

i think its wocky

PollyQueiroz said...

blumaroo = 70?

Mouse said...

I got 19 for Blumaroo. Let me double check my math.

Robin said...

Nimmo

n=6 i=7 m=6 m=1 o=(-1) 19

Unknown said...

I get Nimmo = 21

Mouse said...

I'm starting to think that making a program, and running it would be faster than this. :D

wish I remembered more java.

Unknown said...

I agree with mouse. Writing the program and running it would be quicker than doing them all by hand.

Unknown said...

I only get 21 for Ixi.

utopia said...

i think its IXI

Mouse said...

Should be pretty simple true-false structure. Mind, I failed the one programming class I ever took. Heh.

I lost patience and resorted to reasonable guessing. I got a pet name for 29 and decided that was good enough.

Unknown said...

29, mouse? I found at least 4 with greater numbers than that.

faces said...

I get Ixi = 49
I x i
2(2)=4 1 16(2)=32
squared=16
changed to 1
+5 +5 +5

1+5+1+5+32+5=49

Unknown said...

faces, you have to apply the rules in order. The setting the highest to 1 is the last rule. It must be done after the Roman numerals. So must the squaring.

Unknown said...

Mouse said: "Should be pretty simple true-false structure. Mind, I failed the one programming class I ever took. Heh."

Lots of loops and comparisons to check if letters are in particular sets of characters.

Unknown said...

Kyrii = -2
Hissi = -1
Zafara = 1
Pteri = 3
Lutari = 3

Those are my bottom 5.

Mouse said...

Hmm, I'm probably doing something very wrong; I got 21 for IXI

I X I
Rule 1: 2 1 2
Rule 2: N/A
Rule 3: 7 6 7
Rule 4: 7 6 14
Rule 5: 14 6 14
Rule 6: N/A
Rule 7: 196 6 14
Rule 8: N/A
Rule 9: N/A
Rule 10: total = 216 so N/A
Rule 11: 1 6 14
= 21

Unknown said...

I agree with your calculations for Ixi, mouse. I have exactly the same steps, so only 21.

PollyQueiroz said...

I get 21 for Ixi , too

Anonymous said...

So far it's Wocky with 41

Unknown said...

perrfy, I only get 11 for Wocky

El Dr said...

Ok, No Ixi then... but it looks imposible to calculate ALL the neopets names. And I remember rare or limited neopets are pets too...

Unknown said...

el_dr said "Ok, No Ixi then... but it looks imposible to calculate ALL the neopets names. And I remember rare or limited neopets are pets too..."

I found 54 on the All the Neopets page. Tedious, perhaps, but certainly not impossible.

Unknown said...

I get Skeith = 26

Nana . said...

Xweetok = 23

Ademar Fernandes said...

shoyru = 12

Unknown said...

I get bruce = 7

Ademar Fernandes said...

Lutari = 5

Ademar Fernandes said...

My Lutari was 7

Unknown said...

el_dr, you need Korbat

Unknown said...

I get kiko = 13
kiko
r1=1+2+1+2
r2=N/A
r3=1+7+1+2
r4=1+7+2+2
r5=2+7+2+2
r6=2+7+2-2
r7=4+7+2+4
r8=4+7+2+5
r9=4+7+2+6
r10=4+7+2+6=19 so 4+10+2+6=22
r11=4+1+2+6=13

Ademar Fernandes said...

Poogle = 19?

Ademar Fernandes said...

My Skeith was 14 :S

Nana . said...

Xweetok

[(1 + 5 )*2 ]² + [ 1 + 3 ] + [ 2 + 1 ] + { [ 2+ 1] *2 } ² + [ 1 + 1 ] + [2 + 1 ] + [ 1 ] * -1 =
= {6 * 2} ² + 4 + 3 + { 3 * 2 }² + 2 + 3 –1 =
= 12 ² + 7 + 6² + 4 =
= 144 + 7 + 36 + 4 =
= 151 + 40 = 191 ._.



OMG... incorrect!?!

Nana . said...

Xweetok = 191 [?]
+ Rule 11
= 194? Õ_O *afraid*

luimis said...

Just to see if something in the rules is throwing us off (maybe threw me off...I don't know)

RULE 3: Roman Numerals: I(1), V(5), X(10), L(50), C(100), D(500), M(1000)

Rule 7: If the last letter (it would be negative) is squared, it becomes positive.

Rule 8: If the last letter is still negative and in NEOPETS, it's like adding to a negative number. Example: Bruce: the E before Rule 8 is -2, so after it becomes -1.

...That was how I did it...I'm not sure where else things could have gone wrong...but according to my calculatons, the answer should be Draik?

Unknown said...

dark said...
I get Skeith = 26
Nana said...

Xweetok = 31
Shoyru = 10
Lutari = 3

El Dr said...

Draik looks the most scored now.

Did it through Java :D, should be bug free. Looks like Draik is it..

Ashi said...

Aren't we forgetting rule 10? The letter with highest point value should be reduced to 9?

Ashi said...

Sorry 1

Lim Eileen said...

LOLx, I got only 11 for nimmo.
N--6
I--after applying rule 11 is now 1
M--1
M--(second instance, rule 4) 4
O-- negative (-)1

Add them up, i only got 11

Lim Eileen said...

and i got 10 for draik....
D--4(after squaring)
R--4
A--2
I--reduced to 1
K-- negative (-)1

I'm still calculating....hmmm

Lim Eileen said...

now i feel like my answer is wrong.... argh!!!

Cindy said...

I really dun understand a thing u r discussing... wat rules?? and is it the ans is elephante??

Lizzie said...

Cindy- We're discussing this weeks Lenny Conundrum....Read the riddle on Neopets and you'll understand.

I am 96% positive the answer is indeed Draik.

Anonymous said...

I think the answer should be elephante. Will someonle please show me how you got 55 for draik. Cause I keep getting 10. Because you have to reduce the letter with the highest point value to one. making the total to come out to 10.
D R A I K
R1 1 1 2 2 1
R2 1 1 2 2 1
R3 1 1 2 7 1
R4 1 1 2 7 1
R5 2 1 2 7 -1
R6 2 1 2 7 -1
R7 2 1 2 49 -1
R8 4 1 2 49 -1
R9 4 1 2 49 -1
R10 4 4 2 49 -1
R11 4 4 2 1 -1

*Is it me or am i missing something???

LC Solver said...

D is a Roman number digit.

Anonymous said...

I just spent 2 hours doing all of the math, and you are all wrong. there is no thinking something is right, you must know. you have to follow the instructions STRICTLY.

Wee Min said...

??????????

Lizzie said...

irishclover0921, what are you talking about? I did the math on Draik at least 10 times and every time it came out to 55. I think most people are forgetting that D is a roman numeral..

Unknown said...

i don't think that the answer in draik when you do the rules in order i only got 7 for it

Ademar Fernandes said...

It's Draik *-*


Thanks, LC Solver

Anonymous said...

can someone please give me the answer to this weeks mystery pic

ben said...

Tank you so much, because of your help I place on the first 250 to answer the LC. Best wish's to you LC solver.

Unknown said...

The solution as runnable Perl code.

It gives the same answer as TNT's. I strove for clarity, not conciseness.
